Woody incense

This is an eau de parfum from an artisanal perfumery in Florence, called Aqua Flor. Fragrance notes are not available (at least in detail) so bear with me if I'm mistaken.
As the name indicates, this is a fragrance based on frankincense. But this is not exactly the usual church incense recreation, nor the kind of heavy bakhoor that Arabs use in their house, which I both love by the way! What you'll get instead is a clean mineral frankincense with a strong woody smell, something like fir balsam and cedar probably. Longevity is quite good, 7 hours on my skin, while its sillage will definitely get you noticed in a room.
Bakhur is rather linear as a perfume but that's part of its beauty since it doesn't change to something that you might not like. I find it more suitable for a man than a woman because of its dryness mostly but that's up to your own taste.
Highly recommended to any frankincense lover as well as to anyone who might enjoy a different take on frankincense. For what it concerns me, it has become one of my favourite fragrances for its beauty and uniqueness!
